description

Until the acquisition of the house by master bricklayer Georg Haase on June 6, 1715, the house existed in the form of the 17th century as a three-storey, five-axis building with a gable roof. The corners were rusticated, the floors were separated from each other by cornices. In the middle there was a three-story rectangular bay. The bay window had a dwarf house in the roof area, which was decorated with pilasters and crowned with a triangular gable.

After the master bricklayer Georg Haase had acquired it, he converted the building into his house, whereby from 1716 to 1717 the house and the bay window were increased by one storey and the house was provided with a mansard roof. The added upper part of the bay window showed the typical compact proportions of Haase's bay windows. In contrast, the lower parts were still slim.

After Haase died in 1725, the elaborate bandwork decoration was added. This type of decoration was used by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt in Vienna and was not typical in Dresden. Finally, the facade of the upper storeys was bordered on the sides with pilaster strips and fantasy capitals. The capitals consisted of two volutes with a shell with ribbon decoration between them. The pilaster shafts were also decorated with elaborate ribbon decoration and rosettes.

The facade was not divided into fore and aft, and there was no suspicious decoration, as is usual in Dresden. All windows were on one level and were equipped with elaborately profiled window frames. These garments were designed with stepped corners on their lower and upper edges. Below the sills there were small consoles made of intertwined banding.

The lintels were particularly elaborately designed, with stepped keystones over which the decor above extended. The décor consisted of a “stucco applied in shape”, a “multitude of the smallest, finely ruffled and multiple broken C-curves, volutes and tendrils”.
